Set type identifier on BIO
In OpenSSL there are two types of BIO's (I/O abstractions):
source/sink and filters. A source/sink BIO is a source and/or
sink of data, ie one acting on a socket or a file. A filter
BIO takes a stream of input from another BIO and transforms it.
In order for BIO_find_type() to be able to traverse the chain
of BIO's and correctly find all BIO's of a certain type they
shall have the type bit set accordingly, source/sink BIO's
(what PostgreSQL implements) use BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK and
filter BIO's use BIO_TYPE_FILTER. In addition to these, file
descriptor based BIO's should have the descriptor bit set,
BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR.
The PostgreSQL implementation didn't set the type bits, which
went unnoticed for a long time as it's only really relevant
for code auditing the OpenSSL installation, or doing similar
tasks. It is required by the API though, so this fixes it.
Backpatch through 9.6 as this has been wrong for a long time.
